Question

what does an author achieve by giving the reader a challenge in the concluding statement? (1 point) they provide the reader with a sense of closure. they encourage the reader to take a specific action. they show the reader a wider impact in other areas. they reinforce a message to the reader.

Explanation:

A challenge in the concluding statement is an active call - to - action. It is not just about closure (which is more passive), showing wider impact (which is about scope), or reinforcing a message (which is about repetition). A challenge is designed to prompt the reader to do something specific.

Answer:

They encourage the reader to take a specific action.
